NORFOLK — A man charged with killing a toddler turned himself in Monday afternoon, Portsmouth police said. Detectives charged 39-year-old Al Demond McNeil with second-degree murder over the weekend following the shooting of a 2-year-old boy last week.
Officers responded to the shooting around 9:40 p.m. Wednesday near the 2800 block of Deep Creek Boulevard. Inside the residence, police found a 2-year-old boy with a life-threatening injury and transported him to a local hospital.
The toddler died from his injuries three days later. McNeil, who is in the custody of the Portsmouth Sheriff’s Office, is also charged with use of a firearm and shooting in the commission of a felony.
